White Christmas is based on the perennial classic movie that starred Bing Crosby. It tells the story of two GIs who become song-and-dance stars and a General who retires to run an inn (badly) in Vermont. When the inn sputters, the GIs mount a rescue effort and save the day. The Irving Berlin score abounds in well-known, well-loved classic melodies that give rise to spectacular production numbers. Thus, dancers who sing and singers who dance are needed for the cast.

The first rehearsal will be on Saturday, September 21st. Performances will be at the Count Basie Theatre beginning November 15th.
